🎲🎲🎲The Yahtzee Challenge (AKA The Alternative Task Challenge)🎲🎲🎲
Duration: March 1, 2022 - March 31, 2023


I finished!!! This round I only had to do TWO alternate tasks because of not rolling anything that would fit. That is much better than the EIGHT alternate tasks I had to do in the last round for the same reason. And I have not EVER rolled a Yahtzee in all the 4 or 5 times I’ve played this game. With my luck I’m definitely going to avoid casinos.

Thanks for another fun game Fran!!!


It's a 13 month challenge, with the participant 'rolling the dice' once a month. The dice need to be rolled between the 25th of the month before and the 5th of the current challenge month. You will then have the rest of the month to complete that month's task.

Only one task can be completed each month. There will be no scorekeeping, instead, you will put the title of the book(s) and date you completed the task next to the task name. This means you have completed that task for the month and you cannot do the same task again.


Random.org Dice Roller- http://www.random.org/dice/

Be sure to set the dice roller to 5 dice for your first roll.

Participants are to roll once a month. Using random.org, roll 5 dice. Re-roll only the number of dice you want to throw back. Do that again for the third roll. You may be happy with your first or second roll. There is no need to roll further.


If you cannot fit your 'roll' into any remaining task that you have, there will be an alternate task to complete. The alternate task will change each month. If you need to use an alternate task, please put the word 'alternate' in an empty task space along with the date completed.

**Minimum page count of 90 pages unless specified for the task. Re-reads allowed, as well as audio-books.
Any edition of the book you are reading is allowed when determining page count.

Please update your original post for this challenge. All record keeping should be kept to your one original post :)
It would be great if you could post when you have completed the entire challenge, at the end of the 13 months.
